So the Iowa Games Triathlon it is. I have until July 8th to get ready for my first outdoor triathlon. It's a sprint distance: 1/4 mile swim, 15m bike ride, and 5k run. To prepare, I began reading Triathlon 101 today. I figured it sounded a bit more legit than Triathlons for Dummies. I don't know how to properly train for a multisport event, so I'm looking forward to learning and then holding my own come race day.
